Can you deploy .net cruise control as a web service / web application?

I am investigating the possibility of using my web host as a cruise control.net build server. If I have access to MsBuild, or if you can deploy msBuild and run it, that would be great. However, I cannot find any resources that could tell me if cruise control supports as a web service or a web application.

Is this deployment possible? If it weren't for the UI (this is the web UI I believe in) sit on the web server and send requests to the actual build server?

I understood that. This was very convenient, just copying the web directory from Cc.net, installing and editing a few config files.

CruiseControl requires its own Windows service running in the background. If you cannot install services on your computer (not web services, as well as actual Windows services) (which is unlikely if you don't have a dedicated server), or just keep the EXE running until the end of time in debug mode, you won't be able to use CC.Net this way.



Either way, it's best to keep this as part of your developer environment. You don't need the security risk that this level of control is available to anyone who manages to log into the server.
